I am in the process of upgrading to gcc version 2.2.1, and have come across
the following problem on a Next 2.1 system:

In the file protoize.c, it includes at line 71:

#include <sys/wait.h>

This will cause the following error when built using the gcc in stage1:

In file included from protoize.c:71:
/usr/include/sys/wait.h:128: parse error before `('
/usr/include/sys/wait.h:128: parse error before `)'

The original <sys/wait.h> entry is:

extern int wait(union wait *);

When I execute the gcc preprocessor and compiler built during stage 1, the
preprocessor generates the following:

# 127 "/usr/include/sys/wait.h" 2 3

extern int wait ((union wait *) (union wait *)) ;
extern int wait3(union wait *, int, struct rusage *);

The compiler pukes on the extern definition for wait(). I looked at all the
preceding includes and cannot figure out why this prototype is broke. Is this
a known problem? (I have not seen any postings on this, but I was not paying
attention when 2.2.1 was released). If so, could someone forward me the
patch(s) needed to correct this?

Thanks,

Otto

Yes, the patch is to get 2.2.2, the latest release.  I built it and
this problem was not there.  

Always get the latest release.
